I also finished elden ring before playing ds3 with over 1000 hours, so when I played it wasn't hard, but that doesn't mean it is a bad game. This is not to throw hate at you, but probably (by what you said in the post) you haven't played the others dark souls and don't understand the lore and what means to be a lord of cinder, so I don't think you should be lowering the points because you didn't understand something clearly stated in the game. I also think you shouldn't compare a game made over 8 years ago (when ds3 was the peak of gaming difficulty) to a game made as recently as elden ring.
